Envoy will have outside attrition (which is variable and usually higher in Spring/Summer) and to meet that burden without contracting or stunting the "upgrade factory" you claim, Envoy will need about 35-40 new-hires/month. Each and every month starting now (actually a couple of months ago to "front load" that factory assembly line).
First, the flows from PDT/PSA are new hires. They are not deducted from the total hired for our 50% calculation; so right off the bat, you're wrong again as usual.
Parker announced hiring of 750, not 700, so again you're mistaken
50% would be 375 next year from Envoy. They can meter to 30 a month which would be 360 for the year; however they have to meet the 50% in the end. So not flowing isn't an option, you're wrong again.
We have about 1,000 CA's and about 300 of them won't flow. That means we are going to flow 1/3 of our Captains in just 1 year. IMHO, This place is about to turn into an upgrade factory. They kept the schoolhouse fully staffed and they kept the sim contracts as if we were still a 3,000 pilot airline. We are overstaffed and starting up a new training program for E175 will not cause a training bubble staffing shortage. The new planes are coming, and we have the fastest flow to AA of all three WO's.
Sure sounds more and more like their 6/2.5 is actually possible.
The pilots will go where the upgrades are reasonable, and the equipment is good. It's been proven already. Sorry it took you a few decades to go to AA; these new kids aren't going to have to deal with any of that.

Just posting facts and numbers. Unlike you, they don't lie.
